Dartmouth College invites applications for a newly endowed
chair in the Digital Humanities. The successful candidate should be committed
to interdisciplinary collaboration, technological innovation, and creating
curricular links within the Humanities and across divisions. The position
offers the opportunity to define a new area of research and teaching, and to
build on Dartmouth?s existing strengths in the Humanities and Computing.

The field of research and teaching is open; we seek
candidates with practical and/or theoretical expertise in one or several of the
following fields in the Arts and Humanities: visual arts, visual culture, new
media, screen studies, performance arts, music and sound, film, TV/Video,
literature, and human-computer interaction. Expertise in computer hardware
and/or software will be welcome but is not essential.

The role of the Chair in Digital Humanities is intended to
be broad in scope, potentially incorporating current or future initiatives in
cyber-culture and the creation, performance, and critical study of digital
arts, including a consideration of the socio-political and theoretical
implications of new artistic technologies. The endowment for this Chair
provides additional funds for projects involving research, teaching, and
program building in the Digital Humanities.

Our intention is to hire at the rank of associate or full
professor with tenure. The successful candidate will be located in a single
Dartmouth department or program, or jointly appointed to one or more departments
or programs. Considerable flexibility exists regarding joint appointments,
which may cross departmental or even divisional boundaries.

Dartmouth College combines a commitment to innovative
scholarship, creative practice, and excellent teaching, primarily but not only
of undergraduate students. One of the most diverse institutions of higher
education in New England, Dartmouth College is an equal opportunity/
affirmative action employer and has a strong commitment to diversity. In that
spirit, we are particularly interested in receiving applications from a broad
spectrum of people, including women, persons of color, persons with
disabilities, and veterans.

The Search Committee will begin reviewing applications after
October 1, 2007. Applications will be considered until the position is filled.

Applications should be submitted in digital form. Please
send letter of application, CV, and the names of three references to: digital.search@dartmouth.edu
